Reviews from some customers;

"Well respected Skate Shop and probably one of the reasons skate culture has grown so attached to Temple Bar over the years." The guy is really good when you explain what you want them for. I went to buy the ones in Smyths the other day but they were so uncomfortable and the wheels were crap. So I am going to Skate City tomorrow." RB

"The shop is extremely well respected among the skater community in Dublin, and has been instrumental in growing this minority sport and given it exposure on a national scale. The selection of boards on offer is good and the staff are friendly enough to offer advice and tips without coming across with superiority complexes ofter associated with the field."

Today we lost one of our good friends, Jonno Whelan, one of the original Hill street crew, and one of the best skaters ever. I remember when he started working in the shop, he was good with customers, but wouldn’t take s**t from locals, even - they came to respect him after a while. He was a great ambassador for skateboarding and we will miss him, thanks for all the great memories. May you rest peacefully Jonno, thinking of you, Clive.
